The editors didn't like

  • Average cameras with poor lowlight
  • HTC's Sense 7 skin needs to go
  • Weak battery life
  • Screen is tough to see outdoors
  • Nexus 6P is a better buy for $500
  • The underperforming processor is noticeably deficient. Android phones are famous for a little bit of lag
  • Especially when laden with heavy skinning
  • But it's that much worse when trying to be an iPhone replacement. Also
  • Despite being better than its big
  • Price In some regions
  • This phone is an unabashed ripoff. The price in the US is $400 temporarily
  • After which it will rise to $500. It's not worth $500
  • That's Nexus 6P money. And in some regions
  • You're expected to effectively pay even more for a 16GB/2
  • Speakerphone quality could be better
  • We'd like HTC to keep the price at $399 beyond the presale period
  • Looks more like an iPhone than an HTC phone
  • Mediocre camera in all but sunlight
  • High relative price for the specs
  • Only a single speaker
  • Not stereo BoomSound speakers
  • Metal build can be super slippery
  • Final Thoughts
  • The HTC One A9 is one incredibly
  • Phone speakers are just adequate
  • Not a completely pure version of Android
  • Price goes up $100 after November 7th
  • It's grossly overpriced
  • Comparable in specs and performance to midrange phones costing far less
  • Expensive for its feature set. Lackluster camera
  • Camera performance is only marginally better than its predecessor
  • HTC Sense is too much now that Marshmallow exists
  • Premium price tag
  • Camera needs fine tuning
  • Unimpressive battery life
  • Snapdragon 617 performance is firmly mid-range
  • Battery life is poor when Doze can't save it
  • Tiny battery
  • No BoomSound
  • Too expensive
  • We'd like the phone a lot better were it not for the premium price tag. Looks too much like the iPhone. Battery life is mediocre
  • Merely average battery
  • Rearfacing camera also average
  • Hardware can struggle with intensive apps
  • Disappointing graphics processing performance
  • Poor 1080p video recording quality
  • Weak peak display brightness
  • Battery life is average
  • Battery is only just adequate
  • Camera still lags the competition
  • Google's Nexuses offer much better value
  • The ignominy of being an iPhone clone
  • Below-average performance
  • Design incredibly derivative
  • Despite AMOLED
  • Display is very standard
  • Lacking in performance speed
  • Fingerprint reader throws a wrench in plenty of other well-known HTC features
  • No BoomSound speakers
  • Battery doesn't last long at all
  •  Not enough power for the price (after promotional period)
  •  Camera underperforms in low light
  •  European pricing is crazy
  • Underexposure and poor dynamic range in highcontrast situations
  • White balance can cause pink cast in low daylight and tungstenilluminated lowlight scenes
  • Very slow shutter speeds in low light (1/8 sec at 20 Lux) lead to image blur
  • Autofocus shows insta
  • The design looks very familiar
  • Middling camera
  • BoomSound speakers are gone
  • The alluring price tag is temporary
  • Mediocre battery runtimes
  • High RRP
  • Slower than the rivals

  • Abstract:  The HTC smartphone is very sleek looking with a trio of finishing tones applied to the super-thin metal frame. The HTC One A9 deals now available in Opal Silver has a brushed metal body that is accentuated with highly polished sides and Matt stripes that...

  • Android 6.0 Marshmallow, stylish and sturdy design, fingerprint sensor, expandable storage
  • Expensive, sub-par performance, tiny internal storage
  • The One A9's ludicrous UK price cripples what could have been a respectable all-rounder. It looks great and runs the latest version of Android, but performance and camera quality aren't quite good enough, especially compared with its sub-£300 rivals...

  • Taken together, the HTC One A9 is the phone the One M9 should have been from the start, and it's easily my favourite HTC handset to date. Sense 7 is a fantastic interface and the A9's beautiful design makes it by far one of the most pleasing and attractiv...

  • Premium design, good display, decent battery life, microSD slot, Android 6.0 Marshmallow
  • Performance isn't great, only 16GB internal storage, average camera
  • The HTC One A9 is by no means a bad phone. In fact, given its high-end design, improved software and great camera, it's one of the company's best.However, the HTC One A9 is not a £450 phone, nor is it a £400 phone.  HTC has completely missed the mark when...

  • The HTC One A9 is among the first smartphones to launch with the latest Android Marshmallow operating system onboard, you can expand the storage with microSD cards, its camera takes decent shots and it boasts a metal body
  • It's grossly overpriced, comparable in specs and performance to midrange phones costing far less
  • HTC's One A9 is just fine for a midrange device, but for its astonishingly high full retail price, you can buy much more powerful, better overall phones...

  • Looking back at my rather bizarre, rambling and confused post about the HTC One M9, I think I was asking for a bit more. The phone was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but I knew that HTC could do more and it could also be different. They were almost in a r...

  • Abstract:  Meet the HTC One A9, the Taiwanese company's latest premium phone - but it's not poised as a flagship successor. Instead, HTC's launching this under its current leading One M9 phone, with less speed and fewer megapixels but all in a slimmer, all-aluminium...

  • Design, build, lighter Sense UI, launches on Android 6 Marshmallow, fast fingerprint scanner, impressive battery life
  • Camera not the best, display could be better, flagship price for a mid-level handset
  • We love the HTC One A9 and we think it's the most exciting handset HTC has launched in 2015. We'd pick it over the M9 because it has charm that the flagship lacks. Despite being less powerful and lesser featured, the A9 offers a number of advantage...

  • Pretty as anything that's come before it, slick fingerprint sensor,
  • Crazy expensive, frustrating camera, Should You Buy It
  • Absolutely not, considering its current price. Before you snap back at me with Apple-related witticisms, you need to consider the privileged position Tim Cook and co are in. If Apple released a bucket with a hole in the bottom tomorrow, it would probably...
